Childish outcry against Maria's SOSMA detention

The quarrel between Adam Adli and a regular demonstrator of Bersih shows the yellow side have got the message.

One demonstrator felt they should ramp through the police barricade at Bangsar and march to Dataran Merdeka. Adam Adli understood that the repeat of Bersih 4.0 will justify police to take stern action in accordance to the provision of the law against public disorder and organised violence.

The message from the pre-Bersih 5.0 round-up was crystal that police have low tolerance for non-sensical lawbreakers.

And it is prejudicial to the security of the nation.
Critics may say it is to preserve the current regime. From what happen in other colour revolutions, Bersih are using demonstration to instill new
regime.

That is what Mahathir admitted:

Seeing how Penang is run, their new regime is cruel and corrupt just like Mahathir's.

DCLeak revelation of documents from George Soros's Open Society Foundation to bring about regime change in the next election was clear proof that there were foreign covert operation to systematically bring about the downfall of a constitutionally elected government.

The government is instituted through a constitutionally inscribed democratic process of election and the Agong empowered to appoint the leader with the biggest support as Prime Minister.

To seek the overthrow of Dato Najib though a demonstration, it is an offense under SOSMA as it is tantamount to "excite the dissatisfaction" against Agong's appointment.

That label is totally wrong. Both are security laws and no government should not do with a security law. The difference is there is legal recourse under Najib's SOSMA than Mahathir favoured ISA.

Under Dato Najib, ISA was repealed but the various security law replacing them are made with legal recourse for the accused.

SOSMA, that is under fire based on political rhetorics, have provision Section 17 that state Evidence Act 1950 is applicable. There will be a court hearing.

In fact, the opposition legal team will be making a habeas corpus application to the court. If they are lucky and have sound basis, it will be accepted by the court and the incident of Matthias Chang and Khairuddin Abu Hasan getting released could occur again.

The first threat terrorist linked detention won their release. So what are these cry babies lawyers sulking about?

One of Matthias and Khairuddin's lawyer, Hanif Khatri is assisting Maria Chin.

So what is the big deal of Maria being detained for 28 days to assist investigation under a legally passed law?

It is only procedural to assist investigation.

The lawyers questioned why detain under SOSMA. Sivarasa claimed she is to be charged under Penal Code 124C but why detained under law meant for suspected terrorists and militants?

The first line of the law mentioned "public order and security and connected matter". Anyway, she is as stubborn as any fanatic militant in her attitude and actions to defy the law and police?

Another cry baby lawyer argued that rapist and murderer are detained for 14 days but Maria for 28 days. Well ... national security and foreign interference are bigger threat than rapist and murderer. It relates to sovereignty. The documents are below:

Mahathir couldn't spell out a single reform plan in his Citizens' Declaration. It was more his accusation of Najib "mencuri" from 1MDB but not a single evidence could be presented.

Lawyers also cried abuse of power. But it is already a lost cause the moment Mahathir became the public image of Bersih 5.0. They should just prepare their case to defend Maria instead of cry baby rhetorical calls of oppression or curbing political dissent.

Bersih's ulterior motive is political. Only an anarchic concession from government will ever satisfy them. Their real demand is to hold political power. All these criticisms are pointless and never ending.

It is also not about disallowing dissent. On the contrary, it is about them breaching the law and constitution but saying the law and constitution should not be applicable to them.
